Anybody can trust the honest man of good repute. To trust the one who cheated you and
repented, that takes courage. Anybody can speak well of their benefactor, and to
praise kindness is simple gratitute. To speak well of your enemy and find honest ways
to praise him, clear of sarcasm -- to force yourself to find ways to be grateful to
the one you hate -- requires spiritual strength, and not everybody can do it. So when
you boast of those you love, ask yourself, is it easy for you to love them? If so,
then indeed, how worthy is your love? If you are able to love when it is hard to
love, then the beloved will open up an inner beauty not even she knew she possessed.
But I speak again of Ama.
